Adverse clinical consequences associated with conventional coronary artery bypass (CCAB) surgery have largely been attributed to cardiopulmonary bypass circuit (CPB), hypothermic cardiac arrest, aortic cannulation and cross-clamping. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in safer alternatives to CCAB, including off-pump beating heart bypass surgery (OPCAB, see Figure 1). Since the… View more

Direct-acting Anticoagulants in Chronic Coronary Syndromes
Author(s): Emmanuel Sorbets , Philippe Gabriel Steg Added: 3 years ago
Despite improvements in the management of coronary artery disease over the last decades, ischaemic heart disease remains the leading cause of mortality worldwide and the leading cause of premature death.1,2 Patients with chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) encompass a heterogeneous population, including those with demonstrable coronary artery disease by anatomical testing or evidence of ischaemia,… View more

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death in adults, accounting for more than 480,000 deaths in the US and 1.95 million deaths in Europe each year. There is considerable interest in early diagnosis of CAD, because obstructive coronary artery disease can exist with minimal or no symptoms and can progress rapidly. In patients with symptoms suggestive of CAD, a variety of tests and… View more

Introduction The internal thoracic artery (ITA) demonstrates superior long-term clinical results after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) compared with saphenous vein grafts with 85-95% freedom from significant stenosis at seven to 10 years.1-4 Moreover, the ITA outperforms other arterial grafts, namely the radial and gastroepiploic arteries, and is now undeniably the conduit of choice for… View more

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. In the US, for example, CVD kills more men than the next seven causes of death combined, and more women than the next 16 causes of death combined. Some of the most dreaded effects of CVD result from atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD) and its sequelae, including chronic angina, acute myocardial infarction (MI), heart… View more
